Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices are prone to malfunction due to data loss or modification caused by external noise, which reduces their reliability, especially in electronic devices where high reliability is demanded.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a delay circuit connected to the memory cell of the driving circuit, which delays and stabilizes control signals to prevent data loss from external noise, ensuring reliable operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a memory cell is used in the driving circuit, then data storage functionality is provided, but the system becomes vulnerable to external noise causing data loss or modification

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage reliabilityVSAvoidsusceptibility to external noise
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A delay circuit is introduced as an intermediary component between the control signal source and the memory cell. This delay circuit acts as a buffer that prevents external noise from directly affecting the memory cell, thereby protecting stored data while maintaining normal operation functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The delay circuit performs preliminary action by introducing a time delay in the control signal path. This timing offset creates a protective window that allows the memory cell to complete its operations before potential noise interference can affect it, preventing data corruption in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If a delay circuit is added to protect the memory cell, then data loss from external noise is prevented, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection against external noiseVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The delay circuit protects the memory cell by changing the timing parameter of control signals. Instead of adding complex filtering or shielding mechanisms, the solution uses parameter modification (time delay) to achieve protection, keeping the circuit design relatively simple while effective against noise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
